'Yes, that's Keanu Reeves at our wedding': Guests left star-struck after SURPRISE appearance

James and Nikki Roadnight found an unexpected guest at their wedding when 'John Wick' star Keanu Reeves turned up

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, ENGLAND: It is not every day that you find out that one of the biggest stars in Hollywood is staying at the same hotel that you plan to get married at. It just so happened for James and Nikki Roadnight that their wedding venue was also being shared by 'John Wick' star Keanu Reeves, who then stopped by their wedding reception for a cameo appearance. 

Turns out, the groom had spotted the 'Matrix' star in the bar area of Fawsley Hall hotel and had gone up to him for a quick chat, informing him of the impending nuptials at the same venue. He also took the opportunity to invite the star over. Reeves, often dubbed one of the "world's nicest men" agreed to come by in the evening.

Taking to Twitter, Nikki shared images of the newlyweds with the 'Matrix' star. "Had the most amazing weekend!! #married #dreamwedding #keanureeves #fawsleyhall," she tweeted. 

According to Newsweek, the blushing bride spoke highly of Reeves, saying, "He was very friendly and said he would later on [come by the reception] We didn’t know if he would or not but it was cool that my husband had spoken to him!" Soon after, the hotel staff informed the couple that a "very special guest" would like a word outside. 

Stepping out, they found the 57-year-old actor waiting. He declined a drink explaining that he had taken a long flight and would not be around for long. Nevertheless, he found time to make an appearance, congratulating the newlyweds and taking pictures with them. "He was kind enough to do some pictures and our wedding photographer was able to capture some too! Then he took the time to speak to some of our guests and have more photos done!"

She also shared an image on Facebook, writing "Yes, that is Keanu Reeves at our wedding"

NIkki also responded to a tweet, agreeing that Keanu was "just the best!!!!!" while someone else called it the "wedding of the year!"

This is not the first time Reeves gave someone a surprise visit during their wedding. He has been casually crashing weddings for several years now and been a gracious guest everywhere. In 2018, he had dropped by the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz, California and taken pictures with the couple getting married there. 

One user on Reddit had hilariously quipped, "Keanu has a permanent invitation to every event in the world, he doesn't crash anything"

Later the same year, he was spotted in a couple's wedding pictures in New York City. The tweet read, "Best #Wedding Picture EVER! Moray & Maura recently got hitched in New York and were #photobombed by a rather scruffy chap passing by. We think Moray looks way better than #KeanuReeves in his stylish @slanjkilts
